As Fallon delivers a refurbished table, Carol gives her a secret herbal remedy for a headache. Fallon gives Carol a tip on where to get large sheets of brown paper, and also tells Carol about playing Elvira in Blithe Spirit.

Susan encourages Helen to come along to the Grundy Turkey Pardon, as a distraction from her worries.

Carol admires Eddie's costume, but he's been given a Turkish outfit rather than a turkey one. He ends up replacing it with a chicken costume. Joe's togged up as Uncle Sam, putting on a US accent.

Clarrie serves up cider and tasty morsels as Joe introduces the mystical fortune telling turkey - answering yes or no questions. Fallon gets a yes when asking if she will regret a particular decision she's made. Henry also gets a yes when he asks if Grandad Tony will be home for Christmas. Helen feels awkward.

When George discovers that the 'pardoned' turkey will still probably be killed, he insists it won't be.

Out of the blue, Tom arrives at Bridge Farm. He was in a remote cabin in Canada and has only just got the messages about Tony. Practical Tom is aware that Tony could take a while to recover, if at all. Helen begs him not to think that way.
